RIP Pinetop.

Blues, Dixieland, Bluegrass are all uniquely American musical forms and it's a shame that they aren't more popularly appreciated.

RIP Pinetop. I think that leaves David Honeyboy Edwards as the only true oldtime bluesman left. He played with Robert Johnson and was with him on the night he died (most likely from poisened alcohol).
